Original Soundtrack

Six-String Samurai

AllMusic Review
by Tom Schulte

This is one of the best soundtracks of recent years. It is full of hilarity and zany surf guitar ditties. Snatches of dialogue tell the story of, apparently, a geek surf guitar virtuoso interrupted en route to Vegas to dispatch a band of desert-dwelling Russian marauders. A sample of the dialogue that makes this collection classic is: "They say you can kill over 200 men and play a mean six-string at the same time.... is that really true?" This is immediately followed by "Boogie on the Beach," a trombone and rock band surf number with strong reverb on the vocals.
